Awards have been determined by the Wisconsin DNR for the 2025 Wildfire Risk Reduction Grant applications. There are more applications for limited grant funding each year, and the process is highly competitive.
The Town of Washington was awarded funding for our Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) for 2025 in the amount of $12,301.20
The projects included in the grant are:
-
Roadside chipping on Bass Lake for 120 residents
-
Roadside chipping on Carpenter Lake for 120 residents
-
HIZ Assessments on Bass Lake for 60 residents
-
Brush site maintenance of the town brush site
Since beginning our CWPP in 2017, we have been awarded a total of $101,270.10 in funding for our projects. There has been no cost to the town!
We are grateful to Laura Hayes, WDNR Wildland Urban Interface Specialist, for all her help over the years.
